BARREL-STAN D.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 439,815, dated November4, 1890.

Application filed July 25, 1890.

T0 at whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HORACE H. FISK, a citi zen of the United States,residing at Florence, in the county of Lane and State of Oregon, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Barrel-Stands; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same.

The special object of the invention is to make a stand by which barrelsmay be moved back and forth under a counter or shelf without thenecessity of lifting so heavy aweight.

The drawing is a perspective view showing all the parts and theirrelative position.

In the drawing, A represents my. barrelstand as an entirety. It consistsof the frame a, the shafts b b, which have the wheels 0 c, journaled soas to turn on their ends, and the pivot d, which is screwed to the floorunder the counter or shelf. The frame a consists of a metallic strip,which rests above the floor on one edge, while the other supports thebarrel. It is provided with an eye 6, which turns on the pivot d, andwith the offsets f f, into the ends of which pass the shafts Z) Z),which are threaded to make them adjustable with respect to the frame a.The barrel is set on the frame a so as to rest against the pivot d, whenthe shafts b b are screwed up into the frame until the shaft-pins g gabut Serial No. 359,905- (No model.)

against the barrel. These pins d g g serve to always keep the barrel 0rhalf-barrel fixed in its place, and as the shafts are adjustable thestand will hold securely a barrel of any size.

This stand is specially adapted for the use of stores or other placeswherein barrels require to be frequently handled. The stand is angularand the pins cl g g at equal distances apart, while the chines of thebarrel only touch the stand.

When it is desired to move a barrel from the under side of counter orshelf, the stand is swung around on the pivot (Z- with very littlelabor. I employ the key 70 or any other suitable device to prevent thespindles or shafts b b from turning or increasing their distance fromthe pivot (Z.

What I claim as new is- In a barrel-stand, the combination, with afloor-pivot d, of the angular frame at, having the eye arranged to turnon the pivot d, the shafts b b, screwing into the offsets ff of saidframe to make them adjustable with respect thereto, and the wheels 0 0,arranged on the ends of said shafts, substantially as and for thepurpose described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
